Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 revision of our top 50 Los Angeles Rams.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following:

1. Advanced Statistics.

2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3. Playoff accomplishments.

4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Two years ago, the Rams won it all, but last year they were unable to make it to a winning record. They still had one elevation and one new entrant based on last season.

As always, we present our top five, which did not change.

1. Merlin Olsen

2. Aaron Donald

3. Deacon Jones

4. Jack Youngblood

5. Orlando Pace

You can find the entire list here.

Aaron Donald, who came last year at #2 remains there, but we were very close in placing him over Merlin Olsen. This could likely change in 12 months.

Wide Receiver, Cooper Kupp, who was the Super Bowl MVP and Offensive Player of the Year in 2021, advanced six rungs to #31.

The only new entry is Jalen Ramsey, the Cornerback who is now with the Miami Dolphins. He enters at #49.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

When discussing the Los Angeles Rams Super Bowl LVI win, the trade that landed them Matthew Stafford is considered the deal that made it work, but the transaction that set it in motion was trading for Cornerback, Jalen Ramsey, during the 2019 Season.

Ramsey began his career with Jacksonville as the highest Defensive Back selected (Fifth Overall) in the 2016 Draft, and he was an immediate star. A Pro Bowler in 2017 and 2018, Ramsey had a verbal altercation that almost went physical with Jaguars Head Coach, Doug Marrone, which was the catalyst for his departure from the Northeastern Florida. The Jaguars traded Ramsey a couple weeks later to the Rams, where he continued his excellent play, earning his third straight Pro Bowl.

In the two years that followed, Ramsey was the best Cornerback in Football, earning back-to-back First Team All-Pros on his way to winning 2022’s Super Bowl. His peers considered him so good that in ’22 he was named #9 on the NFL 100. The Rams struggled in 2022, though Ramsey was still excellent, winning his sixth straight Pro Bowl Selection.

Los Angeles elected to trade Ramsey to the Miami Dolphins after the 2022 Season, leaving him with 10 Interceptions, 209 Tackles, and the best brief run of any Defensive Back in Rams history.

2023 Pre-Season Rank #23, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #35, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #54, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #73.

The Rams believed that Jalen Ramsey was the best Cornerback in the NFL, and they went all in to get him during the 2019 season when he was disgruntled in Jacksonville.  Ramsey was the top CB in 2020, adding a second First Team All-Pro, a fourth Pro Bowl, and posting a career-high in Approximate Value (15).  Currently, over the AV/G, Ramsey added another Pro Bowl, First Team All-Pro, and, more importantly, a Super Bowl in 2021, proving the Rams right.  Ramsey added a sixth Pro Bowl in 2022 and a seventh with his third team in Miami, which was impressive considering he only played ten games last year.

A seven-time Pro Bowl Corner will be challenging to keep out of Canton.

A two-time All-American and BCS Champion with Florida State, Jalen Ramsey was the highest selected Cornerback in the 2016 Draft when Jacksonville chose him fifth overall.
